In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a tissue shaping
device adapted to be disposed in a vessel near a patient's heart to
reshape the patient's heart. Such tissue shaping device can include an
expandable proximal anchor; a proximal anchor lock adapted to lock the
proximal anchor in an expanded configuration; an expandable distal
anchor; a distal anchor lock adapted to lock the distal anchor in an
expanded configuration; and a connector disposed between the proximal
anchor and the distal anchor, the connector having a substantially
non-circular cross-section.
